    brenes....I bet waking up in your neck of the woods and driving early in the morning includes some breathtaking views! My wife and I went to Bozeman for our honeymoon. I love Arkansas...but DANG...ya'll got one beautiful state!

    Got the orchard sprayed yesterday. Insecticide and fungicide. Took kids to grammy and papas last night, had a great time. Now off to the shop. Supposed to be running trailers through today...I see brakes and wheel ends in my near future! haha :biggrin_25521:

    Seeing as I am sat here in Eloy all weekend...
    Changed the oil in the generator.
    Adjusted all the brakes on truck and trailer.
    Checked all tire pressures and found 3 @10 psi low, so topped them off.
    Now going to catch up on putting the receipts into my laptop, then all I have to do is laundry for the weekend. Fun fun huh?:biggrin_25525:

    Has anyone ever messed with the low air senders on a kenworth? There are two...under the dash. They have metal plates and a little spring...as the air pushes plates the spring compresses which pushes the metal plates apart and it looses contact. This should happen around 60 or so psi. Well I got done redoing all the air lines from the compressor--->dryer--->tanks and back and then got a low air light, even though I had a steady 125. Stopped all but one leak at that time...suspension inflate/deflate had a small hole rubbed in it from the radio. Fixed that. Anyways, still couldn't get the light to go off after rebuild those stinking little things three times...every which way but upside down...lol. Ended up taking both out...plugging one...and putting in a 68psi "round new style" sender and worked flawlessly...although this was after racking my brains and cramping my hands messing with those litte boogers. Needless to say they all went into the trash and got some of the new style on order.

    Between that, young hand having trouble with starter solenoid and wheel end seal on a western star we had a great LONG day. Seems like EVERYTHING we did had some kind of complication that took lots of trial and error and testing to get right.

    Did get two of our trucks a fuel wire mod and 5232 codes at the end of work today. They should appreciate that come monday...lol.

    Now watching my wife put together a flower arrangment for church. She is SOO good at this kind of stuff. Just wish she had more time to do crafts and arrangements...maybe when we retire! lol.

    IMO, only two kinds of beer in this world. Budweiser and free beer. You must be drinking free beer LOL
